This is a pretty sensitive topic so I cant say much, but basically my recommendation is if you dont know what your doing dont get one. Me an my cousin have both been using RD's for awhile now, first time using one in a place sooooo illegal, there are products I DO recommend but for 140 your not going to get ANYTHING good especially since they will be detected by the cops and you'll get raped.

I like your input mate...

hahaha. Enough said.

they can pretty much ransack your car if they think you have one cant they?

Yep, as far as I know.

My off the record advice...if you buy one be willing to lose it. You might want to practice buying a couple and smashing them on the ground because that's what you'll have to do in 2 seconds if you ever see a cop give chase after detecting it.

I used to have one of these...the real deal ones cost a few hundred and you need to buy them from America. These will beep at service station automatic doors while you drive along the highway, and scream bloody murder if someone has a radar lock on you. Plenty of cops locked radar on me and they never detected my unit. But I kept it underneath a towel on the dash (cause you're just a f**kin idiot if you go showing it off like a G-tech), nearby and ready to throw out the window if I saw a cop get in his car or pull out on me. As illegal as they are, I don't believe they should be...they do the job that the cops should be doing, i.e. deterring speed instead of extracting revenue from it. If they put fake radars everywhere these people wouldn't speed...but the government wouldn't get cash :(

Can cops detect your car with a Radar Detector in it?

DO they have a detector to detect the detector..?

LOL!

As funny as this is, yes :(

And believe it or not people have come up with detectors to reveal their radar detector detectors. It stretches that far. As long as there is an infrared beam going out it can be detected!

Reminds me of that movie "The Big Hit". The trace buster buster buster!

Heck yes the do I'm pretty sure not all coppers are fitted with them but RDD's do exsist if you really want to 1-up them you can get a Radar Detector Detector Detector (RDDD) which will detect them trying to detect you.... I know it's confusing but there is a whole world of Radar Detection if your really intrested i recommended www.radardetector.net

They have probably all the info you need but with top of the line products (which you should be able to find with a couple Google clicks) you shouldnt have to worry about detection, also FYI if you do end up searching and comparing products Beltronics IS Escort, escort acquired them in 2000 they are known as Belscort by enthusiasts

The only radar/laser detector which is tested as undetectable by "radar detector detectors" used by police is the Beltronics STi / STi XR. I used to have one, but got over it and sold it. Top unit. The valentine one sometimes has more range and a cool directional "bogie" counter system, but it's detectable by RDD's.

Yeah, interesting points there fellas.

Ah well, stick to the speed limit and you'd be fine :devil:

I have been searching this alot and I can't tell you the actual penalty as it's a summons to court offence so it's up to the Magistrate as to what penalty you will get. I have found that it's offence to possess, use, sell or own a device under Road Safety Act 127/1986 Section 74 (1).

Hope this helps and obviously they can be detected and vehicle searched for same and if located should be seized for court and eventually disposed of.

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
